About a week ago, I came across this interesting New York Times article out of Rome ‘When Italians Chat, Hands and Fingers Do the Talking‘ and it got me thinking…is this truly the case for all Italians? For me, not so much, I can be chatty from time to time, but it isn’t in my nature to necessarily use my hands to any great extent. In fact, as you see in this photo, most often I find myself with my hands folded.
